Lake of Menteith is a stunning freshwater lake located in the charming village of Port of Menteith, Scotland. It is the only lake in Scotland that is referred to as a "lake" rather than a "loch". The lake is surrounded by rolling hills and lush green forests, making it a picturesque destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
The lake is approximately 1.5 miles long and 0.75 miles wide, with a maximum depth of 72 feet. It is fed by several small streams and is home to a variety of fish species, including brown trout, pike, and perch. The lake is also a popular spot for water sports such as kayaking, canoeing, and sailing.
One of the most notable features of Lake of Menteith is the small island located in the center of the lake, known as Inchmahome Island. The island is home to the ruins of a 13th-century Augustinian priory, which was once visited by Mary, Queen of Scots. Visitors can take a boat tour to the island and explore the ruins and surrounding gardens.
The lake and surrounding area are also home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, red squirrels, and a variety of bird species such as ospreys and herons. The nearby Trossachs National Park offers miles of hiking trails and stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
Overall, Lake of Menteith is a beautiful and tranquil destination that offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether you're looking to relax by the water, explore the surrounding nature, or learn about the area's rich history, this lake has something for everyone.
